What is going on? This set has dropped from nearly 2 1/2K to a little over 1300 bucks...anyone know what the deal is.....?

The most likely answer is when this hdtv was shown at the 2013 CES (Consumer Electronics Show) many retailers thought it would sell well so bought a lot of them, but due to Cnet's review of the tv nobody bought it creating an overstock and a price drop due to the CES's date of jan 7 for the new 2014 models. Don't quote me on this though as I am not entirely sure this is why.

Yes, this is a common practice with resellers where they break apart a package deal and resell the parts of the set separately at a reduced price. You may or may not get the factory warranty here? You should call or message the seller to find out what is going on. If the product is new and the seller is willing to state so it could be a good deal for you. This is how I bought mine and it has been a great piece of "L" glass for me.

The really ridiculous part is that the Finn & Jake set is available for $20 on here. Who are they trying to fool here?

If you are able to get for $12.99, DO IT (and please email me at lmbates219@aol.com to tell me what site!!!!!). I was one of the lucky ones that got it for $12.99, and it is an AWESOME set! I went back to buy more for family members, and the price had gone up to $99 (which is actually reasonable for this set, but I'm way too cheap to pay that kind of money for knives!) Anyways, definitely worth it!!!

Hold out for a while. It was listed at $367 on here not that long ago. This is Amazon price gouging.

I feel your pain Bradley. A 14% increased since I added this set to my cart 2 weeks ago. I have no idea why it has increased so dramatically.

I was just about to buy it a few days ago, when the price shot up. But I HAVE seen prices go down after putting them in my cart, so I'm willing to wait for it to drop again. It's gone down once since then, although not to the price I originally saw it. At this point it's a crap shoot.

I purchased the set as is from Amazon. Contacting the seller might be a better source for the information you seek.

Because this set is retiring soon, and it is now sold out on lego.com, even lego.com was having it on sales for 79.99 before, the seller is trying to make money of course, lol Anyway, you still can get it from toysrus online for 109.99 as of now

While it sounds too good to be true, this is the current price for the entire set. Pay attention to the shipping price, though!

I don't know the current price. Have been pleased with the quality, but don't use this set daily.

I'm frustrated about this too. I'm glad to see the price drop however. I hope you get a reply soon.

I had the exact same question. It's surprising not many have noticed the huge difference in the List Price between these 2 sets. Does anyone have an answer to this question??

You can pick up a used set for under 20 bucks which includes the shipping even. I can let you know how it works next week when my second set gets here. Better jump on them tho, i see the prices are fluctuating.

LOL! After 2 weeks with hardly anyone buying them for $79.99, the price finally came back down to Earth. It's back to $49.99.

Yeah that's crazy. Are they being sold in sets? When I ordered it years ago it was less than $10

I guess the price has gone up because Ava-tards have found out that it's available on Blu-ray in 3D only through this set. I was lucky enough to get this kit for $270 back in the end of January (I'm pretty sure I've seen it dip as low as $230 or $240) and I just recently checked back to potentially buy two more pairs of glasses (seeing as I was able to sell the Avatar disc for $105 sealed) but this price is just ridiculous. I guess it's not as bad as Best Buy's price, but there's no reason Amazon's price should be anywhere close to theirs.
